Modern mobile phones. Not only do other people expect you to be always available, you also get to feel like every last blip of your opinion is important enough to be always available to the world. Which then leads to shitheads feeling the need to talk and text wherever they are, even if it's in the auditorium of a theatre, where the boundaries of who should be listened to and who should shut up are very clearly delineated.
This was only made worse by all these cameras being included in the phones. Now you are always on display and that strange idiocy that people can be prone to while on camera is everywhere.
